Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Chlorofluoromethane


 








 








 








Chlorine nqcc's in chlorofluoromethane were determined by Muller [1], by Nandi and Chatterji [2], and by Blanco et al. [3].  An effective molecular structure (ro) was derived by Blanco et al.; a semi-experimental equilibrium structure (reSE) by Vogt et al. [4].


Calculation was made here of the chlorine nqcc's on these ro and reSE structures.  Calculated and experimental [3] nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.


 








In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. 


RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine efg's/nqcc's
